After coming together to get behind Wales for what was a successful international break, fans of Cardiff City and Swansea City will now spend the next few days drawing battle lines once again.
The lack of TV coverage, and perhaps the sense of temporary peace time brought on by Wales duty, means the build-up to the 115th South Wales derby feels a little more understated than usual. But make no mistake, when Keith Stroud blows that first whistle at 3pm on Saturday, he will be doing so inside a cauldron of fiery passion as the two biggest clubs in Welsh football do battle.
Cardiff City are arguably the ones under the most pressure to win this game. Not just because three points would go a long way to easing their lingering relegation concerns, but they also have to wrestle back the bragging rights from their friends up the M4.
